[mutty]

Yes macropod I am aware of that, and only intend installing on one bue the
error is the same on other machines that is why I thought I would try other
installs too see if it was this particular system, the error is the same,
still unable to find out what the error really means!
Cheers, Mutty

Hi Mutty,

A number of anti-virus packages interfere with the installation process. Make sure your's isn't running when you do the install.

Thanks macropod! Tried all that no avail, been persisting with it, now know
it is the Microsoft media causing the problem, something to do with their
newer disks, I now know of another 4 people with same problem, some roms read
others do not, so you need to get a rom that reads it! Crazy stuff though,
roms work fine with all other cd's, so to save someone having the same
frustrations as I have had with this the solution is easy, place in rom do
not load, go explore and see if the Microsoft cd sign with flag is there if
so it will load fine, if not it refuses too load, you need to find a rom that
works with this media!
Good Luck to you all

Hi mutty,

In that case, it could be a hardware problem - a scratched/dirty CD and/or a CD reader that's at the limits of the alignment specs.

Hi Mutty,
I am having exactly the same problem trying to load Office 2003 Pro OEM. The
problem in my case appears to be the Asus P5KPL-CM motherboard with Intel
Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz. The disk will load OK with the same ROM,
etc. and other Asus motherboards with Intel P4 CPU.
I did get it to load to my HDD through another computer verified it with
Microsoft and it worked fine. My Outlook is currently giving me problems and
I cannot re-install

 

[Gordon]

I did get it to load to my HDD through another computer verified it with
Microsoft and it worked fine.

You mean you have installed it on another computer and activated it?
Then as it's an OEM version, it will not install on another machine and
activate. An OEM version is tied forever to the FIRST machine it is
installed on....

 

[Fisher]

Hi Gordon,
The HDD from my new computer was installed into a computer which would read
the disk, the program was installed onto my HDD which was the re-installed
into my computer. The program was then activated on my new computer. It was
never activated on any other computer.

System Details:

OS: Windows XP Pro SP3.
Error message: Same as Mutty's
CPU: Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33 GHz
Motherboard: Asus P5KPL-CM.

 

[DL]

So if its installed / activated now, what exactly is the problem?

As to your origonal 'wont install / errors on install' it can be the case
that pre installed free software (junk supplied by the maker) can be the
cause of issues - dvd/cd software, I believe I read with regard Dell/HP? -

Hi DL,

I downloaded an Add-in offered upon completion of a MS Genuine Advantage
check was completed and immediately lost the ability to access the internet
with Outlook. I tried to restore to before the downoad but restore will not
work no matter what restore point I try. I have removed the downloaded
program using Add or Remove Programs, but Outlook is still not operating, I
can access the program but only the messages received prior to the
installation of the Add-in are available. Attempts to Send/Receive fail. My
only recourse now is to re-install Outlook and I can't do this because the
disc will not load.

I have tried the fixes suggested in Office Solutions but to no avail.

 

[DL]

Did you download Genuine Advantage as a result of MS Update or what?
I've never seen the Genuine Advantage Tool require / offer any add-in
What exactly was this add-in?
What did you remove from add/remove dialogue?
Uninstalling / reinstalling Outlook is unlikely to cure anything.

 

[Fisher]

The genuine advantage dialogue box appeared which explained that from time to
time a check would be done to determin whether the program was genuine and
asking if I would like to participate. Its the first time I have had this
come up so I thought it was a new check and pressed the "yes" button. upon
completion another dialogue box appeared explaining the benefits of genuine
advantage, and it was from this screen that I selected a link and found the
Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager. It was this program which I
removed using "Add/Remove programs".

 

[DL]

I must confess I've never noticed any links from Genuine Advantage, I find
it somewhat odd that the GA tool hasnt been downloaded before, since its
been out for some years.
Have you not been using Windows Update or MS Update? is your PC not set to
either install critical updates or download and notify?

If you had Office 2003 Pro which comes with Outlook 2003 & BCM, though it
maybe that BCM was not installed, from recollection its on the second disk,
for you to have removed Outlook 2003 with BCM you would have had to modify
the MS Office installation from the Add/Remove dialogue.
So where the entry for Outlook 2003 came from in Add/remove dialogue I
cannot say.

If your OEM disk will not run try this:
start msconfig, disable all startups, then in Services, hide all ms services
and disable the rest.
Then reboot your PC, accepting the configeration msg.
Then try your cd

 

[Fisher]

I have been using Windiws and Office update to download and notfy critical
updates.
I tried your suggestion but still no go. As before I am asked to enter the
key and when I hit the button there is a long delay, the ROM & HDD lights are
on but the ROM doesn't sound to be running, then the error message appears:

Script: D:\autorun.vhs
Line: 12
Char: 1
Error: .\Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application
Code: 800700C1
Scource: WshShell.Exec

 

[J Mitch]

I have Office 2007 Home & Student installed on my Windows XP Home computer.
But, I needed to be compatible with work which uses Office 2003. I
purchased Office 2003 OEM with some hardware as is required and tried to
install on the computer after uninstalling Office 2007. Upon inserting the
CD, I was prompted to enter the key code. Then I got the following message
as well:

Windows Script Host
Script: E\autorun.vbs
Line: 12
Char: 1
Eror: \setup.exe is not valid Win32 application
Code: 800700C1
Source: WshShell.Exec

This CD has not been installed on any other computer. What could be wrong?

[DL]

Since Office 2007 can save docs in old format, what compatibility are you
referring to?

From recollection you are not required to enter any product key, until some
period after the installation has commenced.

 

[Fisher]

I agree with Mitch. You are asked to enter the key first up even on the
computers which will run the program.
Mitch can I ask what operating system, Motherboard and CPU you are using?
